1- Click on the "My AOL"
button at the top of the screen and choose "Preferences".

2- From the Preferences window, click on "WWW".
An "AOL Internet Properties" window
should appear.

3- Under the "General"
tab, look down about halfway to the section called "Temporary
Internet Files" and click on the "Settings"
button.

4- In the "Settings"
window that opens, look under the section labelled "Check
for newer versions of stored pages". There are
three options:

Every visit to the page - Specifies that when you return
to a page you viewed previously, Internet Explorer should
check to see whether it changed since you last viewed it.
If the page has changed, Internet Explorer displays the new
page and stores it in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
Internet Explorer checks for changes once per session. Note
that selecting this option can slow down browsing between
viewed pages.

Everytime you start Internet Explorer - Specifies whether,
when you return to a page you viewed previously, Internet
Explorer should check to see whether the page has changed
since you last viewed it. Selecting this option can speed
up browsing between viewed pages. Internet Explorer will check
for new content on this page only when you start Internet
Explorer.
If you want to see whether a specific page has been updated
even when this option is selected, click the View menu, and
then click Refresh.

Never - Specifies whether, when you return to a page you
viewed previously, Internet Explorer should never check to
see whether the page has changed since you last viewed it.
Selecting this check box speeds up browsing between viewed
pages. If you want to see whether a specific page has been
updated even when this option is selected, click the View
menu, and then click Refresh.

To avoid viewing outdated, cached pages from your hard drive
instead of the latest content, choose one of the first two options
above. "Everytime you start Internet Explorer" is
the recommended choice.
